For the Walter Ndubueze Okafor family Ndigbu, Otolo Nnewi, Anambra State, Thursday, October 12th, and Friday, October 13th will be a celebration of a life well lived as they accord their departed Matriarch, the late Ezinne (Lady) Esther Onyemaechi Okafor a befitting farewell.
A devout Anglican during her lifetime, the late Lady Okafor died on the 9th of August, 2023 at the ripe age of 90.
According to a program of events released by the family, her right of passage will commence on the 12th with a service of Songs at her compound.
Internment follows the next day after a requiem mass in her honor.
Friends and Business Associates of Ezinne Okafor’s last son, Jonathan Uzochukwu Okafor who had at one time or another met her testify to the engaging, kind, and easygoing personality she was.
According to them her eventful lifetime on earth was driven by diligence, tenacity of purpose, honesty, and hard work- rare virtues that greatly endeared her to many who had contact with her.
Besides being a devout Christian of the Anglican faith, Ezinne Okafor was also a community leader, a businesswoman, and a philanthropist whose selflessness was unparalleled.
Ezinne (Lady) Esther Onyemaechi is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren including Bennet Okafor, Ifeanyi Okafor, Ikechukwu Okafor, Jonathan Uzo-Okafor, and Ebere Okwosa.
